| Cons | Needs a WordPress.com connection to work fully; Usage tracking runs once the site is connected, with no separate toggle found; Paid plans gate some features, such as multi-step forms | Needs a Buffer account and connected social profiles; Instagram and Pinterest direct posting are Pro only; Scheduling happens inside Buffer, not on the site |
